      [PATCH] bcm43xx: >1G and 64bit DMA support · 9218e02b
      Michael Buesch 提交于
      This is a rewrite of the bcm43xx DMA engine. It adds support
      for >1G of memory (for chips that support the extension bits)
      and 64-bit DMA (for chips that support it).

      [PATCH] kthread: airo.c · 3b4c7d64
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于
      The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the
      implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a
      task.  The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in
      drivers.
      
      This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create().
      It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid.
      Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch
      renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task.
      
      As an extension of these changes, the patch further:
      
      	 - replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop()
      	 - replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop()
      	 - removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by
      	   kthread_stop().
